Artist

For the skill-based career, see Painting and Secret skills#The Sims 2.

The Artist career track is found in the University expansion pack for The Sims 2. It is only available to graduates of university, so it does not have a Teen/Elder track.

The Career reward for this career track is the Luminous Pro Antique Camera.

Promotion Levels

Level	Name	Description	Days Off	Hours	Pay	Promotional Bonus	Skills Required	Friends Required
1	Canvas Stretcher	At the bottom rung of the art world, you make sure every piece of canvas sold at Dave's Art Emporium is stretched tight over its frame. But it's no dead end: you're allowed to watercolor on leftover canvases, and you're able to build up some charisma and make artsy friends while ringing up purchases for the clientele.

2	Street Caricaturist	Welcome to the streets of SimCity! With some charcoal pencils you bought at Dave's Art Emporium, you're all set to do caricatures of Sims passing by on the main drag. It's a great opportunity to meet some new people and develop contacts you'll need later on.	S M T W T F S	11:00 - 18:00	§357	§714	Creativity: 1	0
3	Souvenir Whittler	Mr. Big, who runs the "Lucille, Largest Llama in the World" roadside attraction, hires you to whittle souvenir llamas for visitors who make the trek out to see Lucille. Even though you're a tool of the tourist trade, you have fun designing a caricature of each tourist or their favorite political figure on each wooden llama.

4	Comic Book Penciller	One of your dream jobs is to work on a comic book, and this isn't just any comic, it's SpiderSim!

8	Acclaimed Muralist	Murals! Murals! Murals! You abhor the sight of a blank wall or ceiling in any public space.

9	Conceptual Artist	As your art becomes even more conceptual and abstract, you need more interpretations and advice from your friends to strengthen your ideas.
